Corporate advisory · Transactions, structuring & restructuring in Indonesia
We help foreign owners set up a company in Indonesia, keep it aligned with rules that keep moving, and structure the capital and assets behind it as it grows. Fifteen years of Indonesian corporate experience, from the KIA Consulting Group in Bali.
Services
Whether you need an hour of advice on foreign ownership rules or a PT PMA set up and licensed end to end, you know the scope and the fee before anything starts.
We tell you first whether a foreigner can own the business you have in mind, and where. Then we build it: the company, the ownership, the capital, and the registrations that let you trade legally. We handle every Bali setup for the KIA Consulting Group.
Indonesian licensing does not sit still, and Bali moves faster than most of it. We keep your KBLI and risk classification matched to what the business actually does, your OSS and NIB records current, your reporting filed, and your corporate changes properly recorded, so that the company can still act when it needs to.
New investment coming in, partners joining or exiting, shares issued, holdings reorganised, assets moved into the right entity, and acquisitions when you are buying rather than building. The structural work that lets a company take on capital and keep growing.
Work permits, KITAS, family visas, tax reporting and routine compliance are handled by our sister company KIA Consulting, operating in Indonesia since 2015 from offices in Bali, Jakarta, Surabaya and Semarang.
How it works
Every engagement runs on a signed Work Order that names the scope, the fee and the period it covers. If the work grows, we agree a new one.
You describe the situation. We tell you whether it is a problem worth paying to solve, and roughly what it takes.
Fixed scope, fixed fee, a defined engagement period, and terms in both languages. You sign before anything begins.
Drafting, notary coordination and government filings. You hear from us at the points where a decision is genuinely yours.
Final documents, filed and organised, plus a short note on what to keep current and when.
The practice
KIA Advisory is the corporate advisory practice of the KIA Consulting Group, working from Bali.
Most of our clients are foreign founders and investors. What they need is rarely more legal language, it is someone who can say what a structure will cost, what it will let them do, and what will break in two years if it is built the cheap way. We answer that first, then execute it.
We are a corporate compliance and structuring advisory. Behind us is KIA Consulting, which has been setting up and supporting companies in Indonesia since 2015 from offices in Bali, Jakarta, Surabaya and Semarang. Notaries and specialists are brought in where a matter needs them.

Selected matters
A sense of the work, without naming the clients.
A European investor arriving with several intended business lines. We consolidated the activity codes so related activities sat under a single classification, which materially reduced the minimum investment the structure required, then shaped an operating model that was both compliant and actually licensable.
A foreign-owned operating company needed its shareholding and governance in order before an incoming investor began diligence. Share structure reorganised, historic resolutions regularised, and the company presented in a state the investor could underwrite.
A buyer taking over an operating venue where the licensing did not match the business as actually run. Structure and exposure assessed before signing, purchase documents drafted, and the licensing position resolved as a condition of closing.
A distribution company whose ownership, licensing and asset arrangements had drifted apart from how the business was operating. Entities and registrations realigned so the group could contract, expand and take on capital cleanly.
Details are generalised and clients are not identified.
Insights
What’s changing in Indonesian regulation, licensing, and deal practice, and why it matters.
Eighteen classifications were announced. OSS is rejecting far more than that, and the quiet exposure sits with companies already operating.
